PITCH NOTES - FIFA 19 PATCH NOTES #7

Comments

Could you please elaborate and shed some light on these questions? They are not necessarily specific to the current patch, but would be greatly appreciated if you could answer them. The community would really like some clarity.

Strikers can be converted to defensive midfielders while still maintaining 9 or 10 chemistry; which in real life is less common than wingers switching wings. So my question would be; why is it that left wingers can't be converted to right wingers, while maintaining full chemistry? *

In the user interface, would EA be able to add sorting options for specifics cards? (ie. rare, UCL, OTW, et cetera)?**

The World-Cup mode had a great option that could let us send untradeable duplicates to a storage place, why isn't this implemented in this game? Right now the only reason I can think of as to why it isn't added, is, so that players HAVE to discard them and eventually visit the transfermarkt / store again?

Would it be able to add an button to add 11 individual condition cards at once? 11 cards would be applied and removed with one-button, which is very much more user friendly than having one player add them one by one. You'd still have the squad fitness cards in the game to fill up packs with.

*While I understand that a new TOTW or a promo (futmas, otw, ...) can hype players up to buy packs if there are players with switched positions (ie. Mbappe from RW to ST). That shouldn't be the reason those potential (LW to RW) position cards shouldn't be added, that would mean "profit > gameplay/fun".

**I know you guys are paying attention to User Interface design, because the integration of visiting the transfermarkt with L2 during an SBC this year has been great. As well with the sorting options. But I feel there can be done even more with it, like L2 also sending u to the transfermarkt when you are just working on your squad.

Hi @EA_Andy
First of all, thank you for giving attention to Career Mode.

But I was wondering if your team is aware of the bug of changing teams to other leagues in carreer mode, for making my favorite teams grow or using "Rest of the world" ones in Carreer mode.

It was something I really enjoyed to do, but now if I do it, when I qualify to Europa/Champions League, the cup breaks, it doesnt let you play the cups and if you go to the "positions" screen the game crashes and closes. (I'm a PC player)

Please tell me if EA plans to arrange this bug...My carreer mode runs are not as enjoyable as at previous versions of fifa.

Not sure but I'll mention it to the QA team to make sure it's being tracked.

@EA_Andy, I know, maybe it isn't important, but please tell me. Maybe You have knowledge about GK gloves update, (like for boots) and GK kits for some teams from lower english league? I hope, You can answer me.

I don't have any info about when certain things like boots and gloves may be updated.

Thanks, from this we can gather that despite the millions FUT generates, EA are not willing to dedicate the resources needed to address the obviously needed patches this game needs in a timely fashion.

Simply not good enough. The Fifa forums simply shouldn’t contain this much disdain for a game we’ve come to love over the years.

Can you fix bug when the players are not even making an effort to do anything, players get "tired" Shows how messed the game is, players get tired for doing nothing, unbelievable, and they want to create "realism"

Thank you

Appreciate the feedback. Not really something I can shed any light on because I don't know if these changes are something that are easily implemented or not and whether there are plans to look at this stuff but I'll add this to the ongoing feedback list we have.

And have you thought of making three sets of kits (or at least two) for the goalkeepers in order not to have the same kits as outfield players. and also different shorts and socks for the outfield players when your team has the same colours as the opposition? Thank you.

Can you also fix the problem when two players get injured in one match please EA, this is pure insulting now

How often is this actually happening to you? Which mode are you in?

I'm mostly a FUT player and very rarely get injuries let alone 2 in one match, so perhaps this is in a different mode?

1/ perhaps its because EA coders are next to their servers that they can’t create the same scenario as I am and a few others are

2/ on the question of injuries i had a player tested from a previous injury played him because another player had gotten injured, then that player plus another player had gotten injured in the same match when playing squad battles. Perhaps you’re not playing that much to get players injured, hope that answers your question

If it happens to you again (consumables bug), please note down the exact time, date and your timezone and DM me those details along with your platform and gamertag.

Really though, how hard can it be to just copy the custom tactics used by the player for the specific squad and paste them directly for SBs?
Or was it so complicated to implement due to the changes to custom tactics that they just set the default to "Possession/Tiki-Taka" and "No Pressure" for all squads?
Or is there something I'm missing?
'cause this delay makes me wonder whether this is a simple bug...

It’s not a bug it’s deliberate as it hasn’t always been that way. Squad Battles is set up to AI cheat too, EA know then because it’s by design.

I don't honestly know the full ins and outs of what the potential issue is, what it takes to fix and where it is in terms of priority.

One thing I have learned since working in games is that generally when someone says "It's easy to fix" - it rarely is

The details are like I said in some stadiums when you are changing height and zoom sliders it has an effect and for some stadiums it has no effect. I play Fifa on PC. You play Fifa, you can try that. Here are the screenshots

The camera settings on both stadiums are: height 0, zoom 20. On the first screenshot is how it should be(West Ham stadiums) and on the second is not good(Stamford Bridge). This problem has been present in Fifa for the last 4 or 5 years, where you can not adjust the camera setting how you want on every stadium. Please fix this.

It would be great if we could get the AI defending part back from this patch. Maybe 1 of 10 people that I face in game defend manually, others just switch to midfielder and let the AI get the job done.
